The group of 52 children were helped to safety by the Dnipro Kids Appeal, founded and run by Hibs fans, and have been staying in a hotel in Poland for two weeks.
Previous attempts to bring the children to Scotland had been unsuccessful, with necessary paperwork having pushed back planned flights, but in the early hours of this morning, the charity confirmed that the children are now on Scottish soil.
